How do I catch these clowns!!!

[Gabe aqua]

I have struggled to catch these clownfish in my tank to put them in a breeder tank they are super quick and my Aquascape makes it even harder and it nots glued or cemented anymore so it falls with a tap.

You can always try the coke bottle fish trap, but you may catch whichever fish before the clowns. Best bet is to pull all the rockwork and snag em that way. Other method you could try is 1 hand to "herd" them, second hand with net ready. Either way, not fun. Been there many times! Best of luck!

A coke bottle fish trap? :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: As in half a bottle- or how would this work? I love low tech; there's too much gear going on already!

Got pics of the coke bottle?

Unfortunately don't have a picture at the moment and I'm out of town. Here's an exact example though. Hope this helps!

Forgot to mention, if the neck where the bottle cap goes on is too narrow, just trim it further back for a bigger opening, just don't go too big.
